Blue Sword

Chapter 19 The battle in the dark

At 11:30 pm, Asik accompanied Nora to Dorok Road in the slum neighborhood.

"Is there any danger?" Nora whispered with some fear as she looked at the dark roads on both sides and the homeless man sleeping in the alley with a cardboard box covering his body.

"Nora, it's dangerous to go anywhere." Ask said calmly, "Otherwise I wouldn't have come with you."

"Yeah." Nora nodded, still feeling a little uneasy.

Arriving at the door of House No. 44, she reached out to knock on the door, but Aske stopped her.

Ask raised the hilt of his sword and knocked on the door.

Are you worried that there is a supernatural power trap on the door? Nora suddenly had the urge to take notes again.

The door opened, and it was dark inside. Only a figure could be faintly seen sitting on the bed. Asker sneered in his heart, he was indeed an enemy.

Nora took a cautious look inside, and suddenly felt a cold feeling, as if something had invaded her body and was competing with her for the dominance of her body. Her thinking was sluggish and her senses were blunted. Nora felt that it was difficult to breathe. She wanted to scream loudly, but found that her throat vocal cords had lost control and she could not make any sound.

Ask also encountered the same situation, but he was already level 1 and his spirituality was much stronger than Nora's, so he could barely move. As his body gradually lost control, he did not show any panic. He just slowly turned his wrist and aimed the gun at the darkness on the left.

boom! ! ! The roar of the Imperial Eagle sounded, and Nora felt as if she had been hit in the face with a giant hammer, almost bleeding from her ears and nose... At the same time, her body quickly returned to normal. She stumbled and held on to the door frame, and saw Aske lighting up the tinder, lighting up the scene in the room.

This is a simple bungalow of about twelve square meters. A young man in a yellow priest's robe sat on the bed, his eyes rolled back and his face turned purple. He was obviously dead. Another corpse was in the shadow behind the door on the left. It was a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a black robe. A big hole was opened in his chest by an elephant hunting bullet. His body was covered in blood and he collapsed limply on the ground. There was still an expression of disbelief on his face.

"That's the transcendent of Spirit II." Asik stepped forward quickly and began to search for the young man's belongings on the bed. "Spirit II can freely manipulate nearby spirits and let them attach to inanimate objects. For example, if you attach it to a pistol, you can shoot it. Or it can invade a living body and compete with the spirit body in the body for dominance."

"Of course, this is not omnipotent." He pointed to the corpse in the corner and added, "The higher the level of the transcendent, the lower the possibility of being successfully invaded by the spirit body. From the moment I entered the door, I was in the cotton arm armor. Li has grasped the pistol. Just by deflecting the angle of his wrist and pulling the trigger, he can still do it while resisting the intrusion of the spirit body."

"That's it." Nora felt inexplicably ashamed. The moment he opened the door, Asker was ready to fight back with a gun, but his first subconscious reaction was to look inside. The gap in actual combat experience between the two must be too big.

And even if he was on alert, his first reaction would definitely be to regard the corpse sitting on the bed as an enemy. How could he have thought that the real enemy was hiding in the darkness behind the door on the left? By the way, how did Aske know?

"Killing two birds with one stone, you're lucky Nora." Asik took out two formulas from the sleeves of the corpse on the bed, "Life I and Light I. This is a life sect transcendent who is trying to advance to level 2. Unfortunately, he just got the formula. He died here before taking action."

He finally pulled off the citrine heraldic ring worn on the corpse's finger, took a glance at it, and turned around to search the corpse in the corner again. Nora looked at the body on the bed and bit her lower lip uneasily: "So... inviting me here is actually a trap?"

"Maybe." Ask said, "Maybe the Life Sect learned at the party that someone was looking to buy the formula of Life I, so it attracted you and tried to recruit you to join the organization, but was intercepted and killed by people from the Spirit Sect on the way. Again. Maybe the interception happened further ahead, and the people attending the party were people from the Spiritual Body Sect. They suspected that you were a newcomer who wanted to join the Life Sect, so they deliberately attracted you into this trap."

"I think it's the latter. If they just pull you into the organization after learning that they want to buy Life I, then the Life Sect would be too hasty." Asik analyzed and finally found his target: the formula of Spirit Body I , the Life I transcendental qualities belonging to the corpse on the bed, and the Spirit Body II transcendental qualities of the murderer himself.

I really made a lot of money this time! Ask thought with satisfaction. The three Sequence I formulas, two extraordinary traits (lv1 and lv2), and the ring of the Life Sect are worth at least 600-700 pounds in total. Players in the game forum concluded that "golden belts for murder and arson, farming development will be eliminated", and they are not just making up random jokes. The price difference between the mysterious world and the secular world is really huge. The total price of his two shops in the imperial capital is only more than 1,200 pounds. Now he can get half of it back after killing a transcendent.

"Let's go." He pulled Nora away from the scene.

"The Life Sect and the Spirit Sect are mortal enemies?" Nora asked curiously.

"The Life Sect is also called the Druid Sect. It originated from the ancient Kate nation. They control the bloodline of the 'Tree Shepherd', in which the main sequences are 'life' and 'light'." Ask explained, "The Spirit Body Sect It originated from the ancient Siris people, who control the bloodline route of the 'Spirit Witch', and the main sequence is 'spirit body' and 'undead'."

"The two sects were close allies in the Third Age. At that time, the military power of the ancient Solomon Republic almost conquered the entire continent. Both the Shires and Kate nations were forced to submit to the Solomon nation. Therefore, there were also people who shared the same hatred and joined forces to resist. means. The 'Singer of Creatures' bloodline route is the product of the honeymoon period between the two sects." Asker explained in detail, "Later, in the Fourth Age, with the division of the Solomon Empire from east to west, the Shires nation was completely integrated into the Eastern Solomon Empire. They began to identify themselves as Solomons, while the Kates were annexed by the Jamanis. As their thoughts and cultures drifted apart, the two sects eventually broke apart."

"What's even worse is that since the two sects were closely connected during the Third Age, each other knew and had a lot of confidential information about the other. Therefore, after the breakup, both sides were eager to put the other to death." Ask Youyou Said, "The so-called hatred for the person next to you is probably the truth."

"Is this so?" Nora immediately thought about it, and her mind began to conjure up the pathos story of two sects spanning thousands of years, entangled with love and hatred.

………………

The next day, Aske woke up from his bed in the study room and saw the window on the third floor open. A bulging package was placed on the desk, with a note attached, which was written in thin font:

Cash on delivery

M.C. (short for Mia Sinquemani)

P.S. There are spies from the church at your doorstep.

"Asker! Asker!" Nora hurriedly rushed in and shouted in panic, "Our home was robbed! I just counted the belongings and found that 210 pounds were missing! The thief also left a note saying that Payment..."

She stared blankly at the package on the desk. Asik covered his forehead and said helplessly:

"Yes, your spiritual materials have arrived. She also took the money."

"Have the goods arrived?" The other three girls came over after hearing the news.

Opening the package on the table revealed a dazzling array of spiritual materials inside. The river water in the Gar Gorge is packed in mineral water bottles with labels removed, about 400 ml; Eden fruit is a light green apple-like fruit, three wrapped in plastic film; Corfu olive oil is Fill a jar with glass jam jars.

There were six or seven feathers of Vera's eagle tied with hemp rope; Basniya Bay geoducks were packed in plastic bottles; the fleshy paste of golden-striped leech was packed in an empty small box of cosmetic foundation. , and there was a label affixed to it, with a big handwritten word: Stink.

The service provided by the Thieves Guild was so attentive. They actually delivered everything on the order in excess of the quota. Apparently they had taken over a lot of business from extraordinary people before, so they took into account the loss of materials caused by the failure to prepare the potion... Asker thought to himself and then said:

"Now that we have all the materials, let's start preparing the potion of Justice X."

"Where's my life stealing I?" Peggy protested, and she also collected the ingredients for the potion formula.

"You?" Ask glanced at her, "Have you finished digesting all the extraordinary characteristics of your flesh and blood?"

Medea echoed: "It is very dangerous to take level 2 potions before the level 1 potions are fully digested. Because the original potions in your body have not been 'tamed', it is easier to take other levels of potions." 'Rampage', which greatly increases the risk of spiritual loss of control."

Seeing that Peggy was too depressed to speak, Aske waved his hand helplessly: "Let's do what we can do first."

Eleanor immediately excitedly set up the crucible and started beating Asker. First, use a beaker to measure 100ml of Gar Canyon river water, pour it into the crucible, and light the fire. Four minutes later, the river boiled. Asik took out a pair of shadow insect eyes and carefully placed them in the center of the boiling water.

With a pop, the shadow insect beast's eyeballs exploded in the boiling water, and dark ink-like liquid flowed out from the cracks in the eyeballs, quickly dyeing all the water black. The originally boiling liquid surface also strangely calmed down, no matter how heated the flame below was, it did not react.

Asker took out the reagent bag containing diamond powder and poured it into it. The powder spreads out in the liquid and appears to be rapidly dissolved. Finally he took out the feathers of the Valar's eagle and put them in one by one.

The dark liquid glowed with little rays of light, like the stars in the night sky, giving it a profound feeling. Asker sniffed the smell and after confirming that there was no problem, poured it into a beaker and handed it to Eleanor.

Eleanor held the beaker containing the potion, her throat squirmed, and she drank it in one breath with her eyes closed, and then her skin began to glow. Her brilliant golden wavy hair suddenly turned silver-white, and her red lips turned pink and white. She opened her eyes unconsciously, and her pupils turned into golden cross shapes, with faint rotating lines.

She opened her mouth and let out a long, meaningless sigh, and then her whole body slowly returned to normal.

"How is it?" Nora asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Eleanor looked at her body, "I feel like I took a sunbath and my whole body was warm."

"Hasn't there been any change in your character?" Ask asked with a frown. "There are many records in history that show that extraordinary people will obviously feel that the dark side of human nature has been roughly stripped away after taking Justice X, resulting in temporary psychological disorders. Discomfort."
